you move to the note that is closest in pitch in the selected scale.
Searching for events
The events in a project have many different parameters. For example, all MIDI notes have a
channel, starting time, pitch, velocity, and duration. Controllers have a controller number and value.
SONAR makes it simple to find, select, and modify events that have certain values for specific
attributes.
Here are some of the things you can do and the commands that you would use to do them:
These capabilities can help you find problem spots or errors in a project or make systematic
changes to events that have particular attributes. All of these capabilities rely on the use of an
event
filter , which lets you choose the types of events you want to work with and the range of values in
which you are interested.
